Afreximbank secures $1.75B financial lifeline for Angola’s energy

The African Export-Import Bank has unveiled a massive $1.75 billion financial facility for Sonangol, Angola’s state-owned oil and gas titan.

This “syndicated receivables purchase facility” acts as a vital economic artery, pumping essential liquidity into the nation’s primary revenue engine.

The strategic funding aims to fortify export-linked trade structures while providing necessary capital for Sonangol’s ambitious industrial and operational requirements.
